1 He walks by the
bus stop and
halfway there he
stops and sees her.
2 Before he
stopped, she was
in the middle of
the street. Some
trucks went
around, while a
car flipped her off
and these she did
not see.
3 One white piece
o f p a p e r, t h e n
another before
picking up a
chunk of palm
bark. She held
what she picked
up and made her
way slowly from
the middle of the
street to the
sidewalk. This is
where she parked
her cart.
4 More rain came
down than before.
No cars go by.
5 Someone lets
out a squeal and it
is for the girlfriend
under the sign.
6 He is walking
from the other
side of the
building before he
sees her leave the
papers and the
bark among her
bags. He gets a
few steps closer,
she lies down,
adjusts her hat
and pulls a blue
blanket off the
edge of the cart. It
covers part of her
bare calf.
